Job Description: DevOps Engineer

About the Role
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to manage and scale our platform—ensuring high availability, secure deployments, automated pipelines, observability, and smooth integration across environments. This role requires strong ownership, deep AWS experience, modern CI/CD practices, and the ability to optimize system performance end-to-end.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Cloud Management (AWS)

• Architect, deploy, and manage production infrastructure using AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda, VPC, Route53, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, IAM).
• Implement auto-scaling, load balancing, and fault-tolerant architectures.
• Manage networking components (subnets, security groups, NAT, VPNs).

Containerization & Orchestration

• Build and optimize Docker images for microservices.
• Deploy, manage, and monitor workloads on Kubernetes (EKS).
• Implement Helm charts, service meshes, and ingress configurations.

CI/CD Development

• Build secure, scalable CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions (or similar tools).
• Automate build, test, deploy workflows for all environments.
• Implement artifact storage, rollback strategies, and blue/green or canary deployments.

Pipeline & Infrastructure Security

• Enforce security best practices across pipelines and infra.
• Manage IAM roles, secret rotation, and least-privilege policies.
• Implement SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and automated audits.
• Ensure compliance with internal and external security requirements.

Monitoring, Logging & Reliability

• Set up observability stack (CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch).
• Define and monitor SLO/SLI metrics for core Cashbooks workflows.
• Implement alerting systems with actionable runbooks.

Automation & Performance Optimization

• Write infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Automate routine tasks, deployments, and scaling decisions.
• Optimize resource consumption, cost, and system performance.
• Collaboration
• Work closely with backend engineers, QA, and product teams.
• Participate in architecture reviews, deployment planning, and incident response.
• Improve DevOps processes, coding standards, and platform documentation.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 3–5 years of DevOps or Cloud Engineering experience.
• Hands-on experience with AWS (core services + networking + security).
• Strong understanding of Docker and Kubernetes.
• Proficiency in building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
• Solid understanding of DevSecOps, secrets management, and cloud security.
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
• Proficient in scripting using Bash, Python, or similar.
• Experience with Terraform or CloudFormation.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with microservices architecture.
• Familiarity with serverless (Lambda), event-driven systems (SQS/SNS).
• Knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to build and scale a mission-critical finance product.
• Fast-moving environment with high ownership and autonomy.
• Competitive compensation and performance-based growth.
• Work with a technically strong team solving real-world problems.
